Beaujolais Domaine de Bernoux 2021
Beaujolais AOP
Loading...
Nearly all of Beaujolais is devoted to the Gamay grape and its red wines. A white wine like this is rare. It's from a small domaine run by the Seigneuret family for 100 years. With just a little Chardonnay, they make this fresh, citrusy white.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.

The Story Behind the Bottle
Domaine des Bernoux lies in the little village of Crêches-sur-Sâone, on the border of Mâconnais. So perhaps it should be less of a surprise that the family take such pride in their tiny-production Chardonnay. Cedric Seigneuret was the instigator – he did a spell working in Pouilly-Fuissé and fell in love with this grape. When he took over the running of the estate 10 years ago, he decided to plant a few rows. It's a real jewel of a white, particularly fresh thanks to the cooler conditions of the vintage – a rare treat in the recent run of hotter years. Cedric plays a very gentle hand in the cellar, guiding the grapes through to fermentation, with a little lees ageing. A great choice with seafood, white meats or classic creamy gougères.
